Free Work Zone Safety Training
Online & in the classroom
The North Dakota Safety Council (NDSC) and Associated General Contractors of North Dakota (AGC of ND) have partnered to provide comprehensive work zone safety training courses, available online and in the classroom, to help reduce injuries and fatalities endured in work zones.
The next course being offered is Work Zone Safety. The course will be held in Fargo on March 10th from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm at the Holiday Inn. This course is recommended for anyone required to drive, inspect or work in construction work zones on our streets and highways. The instructor will use real examples of work zone incidents to help educate attendees. To register for this course, call the NDSC at 701-223-6372 or 800-932-8890. Class sizes are limited so register early.
Another free course, Flagger Training, is now available online for the convenience of companies across the state. The Flagger Training course is approved by the Department of Transportation and is recommended for any persons required to perform flagger duties and persons involved in the direct/indirect supervision of flaggers in North Dakota. The course can be found on the NDSC's website at www.ndsc.org; the AGC's website at www.agcnd.org; or directly accessed at www.ndflaggertraining.com. Those in the flagging industry can watch a video or read a handbook, then take a quiz and print a certificate upon passing.
This flagger training course was originally developed by the AGC of ND. With the assistance of the NDSC, the course has been made available online for ease of use and accessibility to all. The NDSC received an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Susan Harwood Training Grant of $126,204, to be used over the next two years, specifically to provide this, and other free Work Zone training. Other free training offered includes: Traffic Control for Supervisors, Traffic Control for Construction Workers and Emergency Preparedness in Remote Work Zones
